Leicestershire Live

Why do the stories on the app lag behind those on the website?

This review is about the recent update Sept 2024. Not sure what bugs you fixed. Before this when I went to view comments the page kept moving opening about 5 times, now it doesn’t stop. Basically it feels like my phone is swiping through the pages when it’s not. I can’t read the comments at all. If you are going to update, things should actually improve!!!

Why is the Tigers section rarely updated. E.g. not even a mention yet of the new hard coach! Also, can you clean out old stories I.e. those over 2 weeks old. Some date back to Christmas!!

Some stories are very old need to be new ones

It used to be ok for free but now you now only get to read 20 stories before you have to pay. If the journalist were competent I’d probably consider it but most are completely illiterate, they just copy and paste complete lies from other websites. I used to read the football column but it’s full of planted trolls who just cause arguments and as soon as anyone react you instantly get your comments removed (the planted trolls never get removed though 🤨).

The new Leicester page is awful old news days or weeks old no discovery pages to go on to other areas thinking about deleting it.

I recognise that this paper is owned by a multinational organisation and is in part no longer local…. Whilst there’s articles about local issues, health, politics and awards, the sports page could be improved and in particular the Leicester Tigers page…. The Tigers have been a major part of Englands success over many years. The Tigers as a club side are I would suggest possibly been the most successful English club side. In the recent World Cup, Leicester provided 12 players across 5 countries, with the winning points in the final coming from Pollard… Yet look at the Leicester Tigers page…. Coffee shop, located at tigers admittedly… Bake off contestant Business awards Strictly come dancing Freight hub All in some way tenuously linked to the Tigers, but no game reports, no player interviews, seems no reporters, no L Live vision or effort….very weak…. If only the Tigers got half the coverage the foxes get….!

Sport so bad stop reading the mercury

Disappointing

When the suspect is white, the skin colour is mentioned, when it is not mentioned the suspect is usually BAME!
